Susan turned around while working on her latest invention when she heard the lab door open. She had expected it to be Mary. When it turned out to be Johnny instead her expression soured from her annoyance.

"Did you find out what she was doing?" Susan asked, cutting to the chase.

"No, not really. We found her at one point going into an electronic store but then Dukey distracted me and we lost her. We tried finding her for like… forever… but then we gave up. Whatever it is she's doing I have no idea what it is."

"First of all, it wasn't 'like forever' because I only got you out of school an hour and a half ago. Second, where is Dukey?" Susan asked.

"He found a flyer in the mail when we got back offering free steaks to the first 100 people who show up to the downtown Porkbelly butcher shop. I figured there had to be a catch but he wouldn't take the chance of missing out on free steak so he left."

"Weird. I didn't hear anything about free steak and there's no evidence of increased crowds in the downtown area. Regardless, it doesn't surprise me Mary escaped from you; after all, she is my twin sister so I guess I shouldn't have sent a boy to a woman's job." Susan said, clearly displaying her dissatisfaction with Johnny's results.

"Whatever. If you think you can do better you look for her then. I'm done wandering around town." Johnny replied, not fazed by Susan's insult. Without saying anything else Johnny left the lab, hearing the hovercraft power on as he walked down the hall towards his room.

As he opened the door to his room he could hear the hovercraft flying passed his window. He didn't pay the craft much attention as the presence of large box covered in red gift wrapping paper sitting on his bed was for more exciting then Susan's departure.

"What the heck is this? It's not my birthday…" Johnny mumbled to himself as he approached his bed, "And it's not Dukey's birthday. Or any other special day for that matter."

On top of the box was an envelope with only the word 'Johnny' written in pink pen on the outside. More concerned with what was in the box then where it came from Johnny discarded the envelope and instead tore open the package. His eyes grew wide as he beheld what was inside; a copy of Crash Badger 6 special edition and a ten pound bag of candy. For a moment the shear awesomeness of the gift left him in a state of stun, unable to move or think anything except for the desire to enjoy the gift. After the stun faded he was about to open the game when he suddenly realized who the present had to be from; Mary's special trip around town and bailing on Susan was (at least in part) so she could go get Johnny a present.

The idea that maybe there was some explanation left in the card finally occurred to Johnny. As he ripped open the envelope he found a rather generic card with the picture of a young boy and girl dressed up and holding hands on the cover. Inside, written in the same pink pen as on the envelope was a short and simple message.

"For my favorite little brother.

XOXO Mary"

"So, do you like your present?" Johnny heard Mary ask, the blood draining from his face as he suddenly realizing he wasn't alone in his room.
